I am trying to redownload my Office: mac 2011 to my Mac Book Pro. When I put in the Office: Mac 2011 disc it keeps telling me to quit the following applications-- Sync Services Agent. I have tried to "force quit" this app. but it continues to run. I need some help on this. Thanks!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Thank you supplanter: a complicated solution, but sadly necessary to overcome this irritating installation update problem, and at least it worked! (I would have expected something as routine as this to have actually worked without having to delve into the depths of the machine, but perhaps that's why I moved away from Windows some years ago now!).
Buddy your way was the best way, worked like a charm, thanks.
same here - this is the only working solution - thanks!!
I read through Jamjar's helpful post, and all I did was use activity monitor and killed the syncservices process and that was enough - no disconnect from internet
JamjarPW -- Great solution, thanks. Disconnect from themINternet solved my problem. No other step was necessary. Thanks!
I have tried all of the solutions above but have been unable to get SyncServicesAgent to quit, hence I am unable to re-install MS Office 2011.
Any other ideas??
It worked for me. It is a mattter of pacience. I also turned off the Microsoft Daemon just inmediatly after turning off the Sync.
Thanks!
Exactly this. THANK YOU supplanter!🙂 this worked perfectly!
Thank you. THANK YOU!!!!
excellent, killing the SynService solves it, thank you indeed, great work!
Worked for me many thanks.!🙂
Hi
For me it was as simple as this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2482074
it has something to do with deactivating sync functions in outlook. And it work. I was also off line.
Good luck...
Thank you SO MUCH! I've tried a handful of other solutions and yours was the only one that worked. THANKS!
How do you turn SynchServicesAgent back on again? I'm presuming it's an important application?
